'scaping

I haven't played Heroscape in some time now.  Recently I got the urge to finish my collection of Heroscape figures.  I was able to track down some the Soulborgs and Elves from Wave Four (Zanafor's Discovery).  I also bought the Elf and Samurai Flagbearers.  I paid a pretty penny for them but was happy to finally get them.  On Ebay I found the Heroes for Wave Four.  A seller who goes by hchris278 had them all.  I don't normally buy on Ebay, but I would again if hchris278 is selling.  This seller was GREAT!  With in 3 days I had the items.  They were well wrapped and with the free shipping I couldn't have asked for more.  If you are looking for any Heroscape stuff, I highly recommend this seller on Ebay!!!!

I also picked up an extra set of Anubian Wolves.  I did a repaint on them.  I was inspired by a video clip I saw recently on an Arctic Wolf.  In the video the wolf is howling in response to howls from a human audience.  The wolf is amazing to watch!  With it in mind, I painted the Anubian Wolves white.  I used a light grayish wash on them which I tinted slightly sky blue.  I then went back and highlighted with the white.  I gave them sky blue eyes.  The overall look is pretty good.  I am happy with them.  Hoping to post some pics later. (As some of you may know -  I often fail to follow up on this.)

While not escaping to collect or paint Heroscape figures, I have been watching Stanley Cup Hockey.  The Rangers-Canadians series was awesome.  Having lived outside of L.A. in the past, I am pulling for the Kings in the western series.  Some fantastic hockey in both series!!!

I guess my beloved Pens are watching as well.  It breaks my heart that after such an amazing season that the Pens came up short again.  Something needs to change.  SOOOO much talent and nothing to show for it.  I really think that Sid needs to hand over the "C" to Geno.  The team is his and I feel that it has been for some time now.

Lots of Pens get the limelight and the press.  I just wanted to say thanks to some of the guys that don't:
Craig Adams.  Hustle, hustle hustle.  Love this guy!  The same goes for Joe Vitale!  Tanner Glass and Deryk Engelland.  Always stepping up to do the job!  Brian Gibbons.  ALL HEART!!!!!  Last but not least - Brandon Sutter.  Great great great job this year!!!!  (Side note:  Looking forward to the return of Pascal Dupuis!  He is the embodiment of all the right characteristics of a hockey player.  His leadership and skill was missed last season.)

I'll leave you laughing.  I heard a bunch of the Pens wanted to score with a hot chick they saw at a game during the playoffs.  None of them did.  Her name was Annette.  Get it...A NET!
